I have roughly 30,000 .doc files that I need to convert to PDF. What's the best way to go about this?

I have every flavor of OS you can think of...

  • I know this is somewhat of a duplicate, but no one else that asked this question had as many files as I do. – Jeffrey R Irwin Dec 04 '14 at 19:29

    Use the aforementioned tools for conversion and write a batch/bash script to loop over the files. Are all files in one directory(tree) or do you have a file with all the path and filenames? – agtoever Dec 04 '14 at 19:52

Have a talk with PDF-Tools AG; they have industrial-strength converters (which you do need with this quantity of files to convert), and they also know what they are doing when creating PDF.
